How To E-file Form 4868 | Personal Tax Extension
Do you really know how easy it is to e-file a tax extension with the IRS? I can go ahead and tell you it’s pretty simple and the benefits of extending your deadline are amazing; especially the fact your deadline is extended 6 months. It’s a little crazy to think that one single IRS form can do such an amazing thing, but it’s real and very easy to e-file with ExpressExtension.com.
What You Need To Know About Form 4868
Officially titled “Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return,” Form 4868 is used to apply for an additional 6 months to file Form 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1040NR-EZ, 1040-PR or 1040-SS. To file a personal extension, you do not need to explain why you are asking for the extension, but you are required to properly estimate your 2013 tax liability and file Form 4868 by April 15th.
Please note that you are still required to pay any tax due by the due date; Form 4868 does not extend the time to pay, only your time to file.
